ELIGIBILITY

All participants must be player members of CURLSASK. Player Members are defined as persons who are members of CURLSASK Affiliate Member Curling Clubs.

All participants must adhere to the CURLSASK Residency Policy.

Eligible athletes are those who must be restricted in their mobility such that they are unable to deliver a curling stone without the use of a wheelchair.
